What should Arctic Cat change on the 2014 sleds to make us want to buy a new 2015?

We all know by now that when Cat released the 2012 they should of done a lot more Research and Development. When the 2013 Ltd hit the snow everyone was saying they should of done this last year. Now this year with the 14's everyone is saying that they should of done this 2 years ago.
I give Cat some credit here that they are not just sitting back and saying well there it is some people are going to like it and some are going to hate it, but we will sell some. Look at all of the update kits that Cat has put out to make their previous model year's sleds as good as they can be. Some people got the updates for free some didn't, but if they had to pay for them the price was pretty reasonable. Some people even got reimbursed for the belt's they blew.
1. What do you think Cat should change for 2015?
2. What do you think Cat will actually change for 2015?
3. If Cat makes the right changes will you buy a 2015?

I'm sure they will pull 10lbs out somewhere.

Hopfully they listen to everyone and put a decent mountain ski on it. I hope they learn a little fit and finish off of Yamaha and fix up the side panels and all the holes in the front end and hood everywhere! I think it's time to fix the slop in the bars and adj riser. Those and my biggest complaints about my 13 and the same for my buddies that has ridden my sled

My guess is that the main difference will be that the 2015s will be manufactured in 2014, versus the 2014s being manufactured in 2013...

2014 has alot less slop comparing my dads 2014 to my 2013 but who knows lol i would love to see a better ski a smaller lighter can and some more weight off somewhere.

I think there will be an m7000 just like they did last year with the trail sleds, using the Yamaha Powerplant, other than that minor adjustments.. considering the 2015 viper is practically the same chassis-wise as a 14 cat, I doubt cat will be any different. Possible new 800di motor with Suzuki being dropped, but I've heard at least one more year of the Suzuki is possible. I ride a pro climb for the first time in west Yellowstone 2 weeks ago, and I was really impressed with the solid feel and awesome power this sled has, my only complaints were handlebars not locking in position (I'm 6'3"so the tallest setting didn't bother me, but I preferred them almost all the way down..when they stayed there) and it felt like the steering wasn't very sharp at all, but it was a rental so the steering could have just been in the wrong position on the spindles, I didn't think to look and see

Arctic Cat is headed in the right direction by putting Yamaha stickers on them.

I would like to see the handle bar position about 3 inches forward, But still have a vertical sweep.I'm having a hell of a time keeping my front end down on steep climbs.

Cat should ask Yamaha how to build a drivetrain, do what they say and use their clutches.

In the foreground is a Yamaha that blew a belt after 200 miles. In the background is my 2012 M1100T that is using a belt with 1000 miles on it

BWAHAHAHAHHAHAHAAAAA....I almost wet myself laughing. Like the 2012 Cats never blew belts...LOLOLOL! I ran a 280 horsepower Nytro 2 seasons and never had a belt issue. You are a funny funny man. I enjoyed the laugh (hope you were not serious)

Not all were belt blowers, but you know that. The 2012 M1100Ts are the only sleds that Arctic Cat didn't offer a regear kit for.

In anycase, I've heard the Yamaha clutches are more primitive than the Arcitc Cat ones, but the Yamaha ones were made better.

I would think a correctly geared Arctic Cat with better manufactured clutches would be better than Yamaha clutches.

my 2012 had a belt that went 1600 miles. still have it as a ****ty spare for my 13. its a lot narrower then it should be lol . the reason I changed it was I couldn't adjust out the deflection anymore

Mclure/kincaid running boards, huge improvement over already great boards

av8er · Feb 14, 2014

Cat should come out with a 950 DI motor

which could easily put out a Solid 185HP, and shave off another 20 lbs, they could even do this across the board a 650,750,850, and come out with a Bigger stock Oem turbo for the 1100 like a GTX 2863.

You can bet the replacement motor for the Suzuki 800 will have higher horsepower...don't know what the sales pitch would be if it is not.

2015

Been trying to find some info, I came across the belt application guide today. M6000, M7000, M8000, M9000 for 2015, the ZR lineup has a ZR4000? Not sure what that is, hopefully loose some more weight? The 14's run really good!!
